I went to the Konica web site out of curiosity (remembering what 
Minolta did with the CLE); however, the flash synchro speed was not 
to be found - -  along with the dimensions and weight of the body.

For those of us who must use diopter correction screw-ins, there was 
no mention of either corrective lenses or built-in diopter 
adjustment.

Also: Is the shutter a series of fixed exposures, or is it a continuous mode ?

Just asking < grin >
